Fastest 230 ilevel

If it's anything like Heavensward, they will release "white" level 60 craftable gear, that can also be purchased off vendors that will be good enough to start the quests.

When Stormblood is released, the 3.0+ MSQ will probably be be updated to give out gear as rewards, so by time you get to Baelsar's Wall, you will be i230 just from the quest rewards.

At level 60 (queuing in the DF, no premades or friends):

1) leveling roulette + level 50 roulette + trial roulette = 280 Lore, 15 Scripture

2) PotD floors 1-30 (easy, fast) = 120 Lore, 60 Scripture

After you run the three daily roulettes, how many Lore and Scripture you get that day is based on how many times you are willing to repeat PotD 1-30. If you do the above just once per day like me, then it's 14 days I think, minus weapon of course. But if you push through PotD 50, you get a 235 weapon for free.

That's good I've gotten to 91 in PotD and have a 79 weapon and 90 armor. How do you turn it in for a weapon.

Also thanks for the advice everyone! My friend is all geared out just waiting and I was hoping I could join him close to Stormblood launch and not have to spend a week or 2 badge grinding.

The raid Weeping City of Mach has i230 gears that you can get as well has drops, no accessories or weapons though. Lore tomes are i230 and pretty easy to get and you can get Lore accessories and Lore weapons too. You need to do all dungeons and trials to unlock the Duty Finder so you can do daily the Duty Finder in order to get Lore tomes.

pvp235 gear, that is the fastest way
